The easiest way to think of their evolution is to imagine them as concentric circles where AI is the idea that came first therefore its the largest, overarching concept. AI stands for human intelligence exhibited by machines. Then Machine Learning came later as an approach to achieve AI. In the recent years, Deep Learning — which can be considered a technique for implementing ML is experiencing its worldwide explosion. This is just a simple explanation of the structure.
